Set up imKey

Set up its PIN code

1.  When you see “Set PIN” shown on imKey, you are in the process of setting up its PIN code. During this process, you can toggle the number through the up and down arrow buttons, click “OK” to confirm, and “C” to cancel.
   Repeat the process until all numbers for the PIN code have been chosen.
   
   
   
   
2. Confirm the PIN code by entering it again.
   
   

   Note: The PIN code is used to unlock the imKey and should be set as 6 - 8 different or non-consecutive digits. Also, the code should be kept carefully. Don’t use a PIN code provided by a random PIN code generator or third-party tools.

Final Asset Security Tips:

1. Physical Backup: The safest way to back up is through physical means, such as writing the mnemonic phrase on paper or using a dedicated mnemonic safe box.
2. Offline Storage: Choose offline storage methods to ensure backups are not vulnerable to online hacker attacks.
3. Multiple Location Backups: Store backups in different physical locations to protect against data loss from catastrophic events.
4. Cautionary Operation: Avoid importing the hardware wallet's mnemonic phrase into the imToken app, as this would compromise the offline storage security of your hardware wallet keys.
